Krantz has made 6 records as a solo guitarist. With Enja records he made 3 great albums. His first release "Signals" features drummer Dennis Chambers, the late percussionist Don Alias, bassist Anthony Jackson and guitarist Leni Stern. "Long to be Loose" and "2 Drink Minimum" (a live record) feature bassist Lincoln Goines and drummer Zach Danziger.
Krantz's last three albums, 1999's "Greenwich Mean", 2003's "Your Basic Live", and 2007's "Your Basic Live '06" feature drummer Keith Carlock and bassist Tim Lefebvre, and were both released from Wayne's private website. Like 2 Drink Minimum, these two albums both are excerpts of various sets at the 55 Bar. These two albums also include more use of effects pedals, and are more unscripted and improvised than the previous three, implying Wayne's tendency towards nonconformism on and off the stage. He contributed to Steely Dan co-founder Donald Fagen's newest release, Morph the Cat, and participated in touring with Fagen's band in early 2006. In another rare sideman role, Krantz is featured on tenor saxophonist Chris Potter's 2006 release, "Underground."
Even with a lack of a record company, and thus an absence of excessive advertisement and sponsorship, Krantz's music still receives acclaim and a worldwide underground fan base, strongest in the New York metropolitan area and Britain.

Wayne Krantz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come home breaking all the rules
Couldn't get you off my mind
If they saw what I saw
In your love so true and raw
They'd be scared of what they find
And if you taste it baby we can make it
You can have my sugar sugar sugar baby
Wanna give you my sugar sugar sugar baby
Wanna give it to you
If you want me to
Wanna give you my sugar sugar sugar
Wanna give you my sugar sugar sugar
I told you of my dream
Pleading oh what does it mean
You knew what I was after
You sat down on my couch
I was staring at your mouth
You knew just what I was after
But if you want it darlin we can make it right tonight
And if you taste it baby we can make it
You can have my sugar sugar sugar baby
Wanna give you my sugar sugar sugar oh yeah
Wanna give it to you
If you want me to
Oh I've needed love for so long
Never thought you'd be the one
Yes I wished it could be true
You've got me in the palm of your hand
If you want to be my man
I'm gonna give it to you
You can have my sugar sugar sugar baby
Wanna give you my sugar sugar sugar oh yeah
Wanna give it to you
If you want me to
Wanna give you my sugar sugar sugar
Wanna give you my sugar sugar sugar
The lyrics to Wayne Krantz's song Tomorrow Never Knows suggest a passionate and somewhat forbidden romance between the singer and their love interest. The first verse mentions a college girl who dropped out of school and is breaking the rules to be with the singer. Despite her rebellious behavior, the singer cannot stop thinking about her and believes that others would be frightened by the intensity of their love. In the second verse, the singer reveals their dream to their love interest and she seems to understand their desires, sitting down beside them and allowing them to gaze at her lips. As the song progresses, the singer expresses their willingness to give their love interest anything they want, including their sugar, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for physical or emotional intimacy.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of an intense and passionate relationship that may be considered wrong by society's standards. The singer is willing to go against the rules and give everything they have to make this relationship work. The repeated use of the phrase "sugar, sugar, sugar" emphasizes the sweet and sugary nature of the relationship but also suggests that there is something more profound and valuable than surface-level attraction.
